Isa Chandra Moskowitz is a household name in the plant-based food world—if you’re vegan, there’s a good chance you’ve at least flipped through one of her best-selling cookbooks—and her long-awaited Modern Love Brooklyn is finally open in Williamsburg, serving up “swanky vegan comfort food.” The most Instagrammable dish on the menu? The brussels and shiitake bacon, which, with its edible flowers, tastes even better than it looks.

The Wild Son opened this past summer as a healthy breakfast and lunch spot serving gluten-free buckwheat pancakes and drinking vinegars with activated charcoal. Now owners Robert Ceraso and Jason Mendenhall—the duo behind The Wayland and Good Night Sonny—have rolled out a dinner menu that also offers plenty of delicious, deceptively simple dishes. Standouts include raw walnut pate with house cashew cheese and charred kale with vegan breadcrumbs.

It’s increasingly hard to stand out in the healthy fast-casual scene, but The PokéSpot has managed it—and it’s got the lunchtime crowds to prove it. On the menu? Signature bowls like the Spicy Salmon with masago, cucumber, and Sriracha aioli (you can get it on top of rice, zucchini noodles, or salad), as well as avocado boats—where the avocado basically becomes the bowl. Um, genius.

Since opening last fall, Inday has established itself as a buzzy grab-and-go destination for health-conscious foodies—and its revamped menu for fall makes it clear why. In addition to two new base options (a squash trio of roasted acorn, delicata, and butternut squash with pumpkin seeds, as well as pink kelp noodles), the menu now includes an apple lentil curry and a sweet potato and purple carrot side. Spicy, comforting, and way more autumnal than a PSL.

It’s a small spot, but what New York’s first Brazilian tapiocaria does, it does so well—from the decor to the food. Everything served is seasonal, organic, and locally sourced, meaning the menu changes every month. But the staple is the gluten-free Brazilian tapioca starch, used to create a crisp, flavorful crepe. It’s total perfection in dishes like the Egg ‘n’ Oca, (tapioca starch, farm eggs, parmesan cheese, oregano, and tomato)—and make sure to leave room for their strawberry cashew nut shake, a just-sweet-enough treat blended with OCA’s homemade alt-milk.

Rouge Tomate’s new Chelsea location is your new date night go-to. Not only does the Michelin-starred restaurant have an extensive wine list, it also serves nutrient-dense plates like zucchini with quinoa, daikon, baby bok choy, and smoked onion, or chicken with sunflower seed “risotto” and leeks. A win for meat eaters, vegetarians, and wine lovers.

Do you really, truly know where your food comes from? Farmer & The Fish makes it easy, with more than three-quarters of the ingredients sourced directly from the restaurant’s farm in North Salem, New York. (The seafood is from founding partner Edward Taylor’s sustainable NYC-based company, Down East Seafood.) You can’t go wrong with the surf-and-turf offerings, but standouts include the farmer’s sushi (wild salmon, tuna, scarlet turnips, and African blue basil) or the Maine mussels (with Thai green curry broth and lemongrass).

Restaurateurs Pamela Elizabeth and David Tianga (who’ve been killing it with their Blossom Du Jour empire) definitely want diners to kick back, have fun, and stay a while. Need proof? See the just-opened Urban Vegan Kitchen. There’s a DJ who keeps things in party mode from brunch through dinner, all while guests nosh on cuisine like chickpea hush puppies, tacos, and Mexican street corn with chili lime aioli, and cilantro. Festive, fun, and tasty? Yes, please!

Everything at ReViVer—which has one location in Columbus Circle and a new outpost in the Flatiron District—is guaranteed to be good for you, because this restaurant’s whole raison d’êtreis is turning out food backed by nutrition science. Each menu item has a nutrient score, is low in sugar, and was created with 10 key nutrients in mind (think vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and good-for-you fatty acids). The resulting menu is wide-ranging, including everything from apricot dijon chicken to mahi curry to—yes—burgers.

Latin Beet Kitchen takes the healthy fast-casual trend and applies it to South American food. Think zoodle bowls topped with crispy corn cancha and salsa criolla, or gluten-free arepas filled with avocado and asparagus, with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients. And now the three-month-old Flatiron hotspot has rolled out a weekend brunch menu, where you can enjoy a spiked latte (made with pisco, cacao liquor, Devocion espresso, housemade cashew milk, and dates) alongside your egg-topped grain bowl.

Hu Kitchen is a healthy eating mainstay at this point, but its updated fall menu definitely offers something new. There’s Paleo-friendly cauliflower hummus (which is completely beanless), broccoli and “cheese” soup (with a homemade zucchini cheese), and organic chicken pot pie at the bowl station. Not like you needed an excuse to pick up one of their amazing chocolate bars….

This new East Village restaurant is the very first to apply the ancient principles of Ayurvedic cooking to Italian, Mediterranean, Indian, and Asian cuisine. The result? Delicious, veggie-first dishes served with quinoa and whole grains. Plus, everything on the menu is paired with suggested teas, tonics, cold-pressed juices, or house-made herbal juices. Good for your doshaand your tastebuds.

No one takes brunch as seriously as New Yorkers and this fall the always-packed vegetarian restaurant Nix (which opened its doors earlier this year) is getting in on the game. The cashew yogurt topped with toasted coconut granola and berries is creamy and just sweet enough, while the Egg In The Hole is a seriously delicious way to enjoy your eggs and toast. As with dinner, reservations are strongly encouraged.
